When J. Edgar Hoover was inducted last week into the TV Crossover Hall of Fame for April's Fool in the "As Seen On TV" category, we didn't have a full complement of portraits for him. We had the Tooniverse Hoover, camped out in drag in a cameo from 'The Critic', and the FBI director from Skitlandia. As played by Broderick Crawford on an old 'Saturday Night Live', this Hoover was similar in looks to one from the movie universe. And that's why we featured Crawford from the movie, rather than a Hoover from Toobworld.

So to make up for that error, here's Pat Hingle as J. Edgar Hoover in the 1992 TV movie "Citizen Cohn"....... BCnU!Toby O'B

As the Trickster once said, "Reality is boring, that's why I change it whenever I can."
I'm just "The Man Who Viewed Too Much", and "Inner Toob" is a blog exploring and celebrating the 'reality' of an alternate universe in which everything that ever happened on TV actually takes place.
Most of my theories about the TV Universe come from thinking inside the box and thus can't be proven. But I've never been one to shy away from a tall tale.....
